Online Webinar: - Don't waste your education efforts: What works to reduce recycling contamination -

Do you really know if your waste education communications work? What sorts of resources will change behaviour? Which flyers reduce recycling contamination the most? What elements of a Facebook post grab and hold people’s attention?

BehaviourWorks Australia oversaw the largest known program of coordinated waste behaviour change trial in Australia. There were 22 trials conducted with 16 partners (including Planet Ark). Their key research aim was to explore what behaviour change intervention can successfully help Australians improve their recycling practices.

Join Jenni Macklin (Downes) from BehaviourWorks Australia and Ryan Collins from Planet Ark as they share insights into behaviour change.

This webinar will:

Show you how systematically-designed trials can validate promising approaches
Build your knowledge on what works to gain attention, increase knowledge and change behaviour to reduce recycling contamination
Provide you with tested resources and ideas that you can use in your community education
